BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Forbes recently announced findings from a study on America's top employers by state and Bentonville School District ranked third on Arkansas' list.
According to Forbes, the research was done based on market research data from Statista. This is Forbes' fourth annual America’s Best Employers By State list.
The data was compiled by surveying 70,000 Americans who work for businesses with at least 500 employees. The employees were able to share their free opinion because of the anonymity of the survey. Forbes' list ranks the 1,382 employers that received the most recommendations.
The Bentonville School District, which is headed by Superintendent Debbie Jones, employs a total of 2,270 individuals.
"The people in Bentonville Schools are special. They sincerely care for students and each other. Our culture reflects the high standards of our community and our common purpose but never abandons fun," said Jones.
Arkansas Children's Hospital was ranked the number one employer in Arkansas, with University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences ranking second, according to the list by Forbes.
